i got this message from somebody:

"this was cool, check it out"

It was a link to some .exe file that was hosted somewhere, I think its a virus. When you get that message sent to you, it gets sent to everybody on your buddylist. I haven't clicked the link. But it will spread fast. Be wary.

I got something like that fron Pauline last night. Except it was Check out my Pictures I had to explain what happened to about 9 people I didn't know/ talk to anymore. Gosh. It screwed up my AIM and everyone else that clicked it. It caused a computer crash on my friend Kyle's computer.

Be warned! DON'T CLICK.

Whew. Good thing I haven't used my AIM or MSN in a while. It goes through MSN a lot more than it does on AIM, but I never click on any of those.

they have it on msn too. except it's like this: "hot picture [link] check it out" and if you click it (which i had once) gazillions of popups come out and you can't stop it unless you restart your computer. and then, it goes sends the same thing out to everyone on your buddy list.

Oh yeah, I got that too last night.
I clicked it, because I know you, but I exited out after clicking it.

Ahaha. I clicked it because my crush gave it to me. So I easily fell for it. Now, I've been getting "Look at my pictures" or something like that now. Oh how I wished I was warned. Haha. Now I have like 30 ad-aware scans going.

I had "this is SO cool! click it now!" but I'm the kind of person who looks at the link first. so i did.. "shower the hyperlink" and I clicked it out of curiousity. Blah. then it was something to save and so I exited it quickly.

>.> showing the hyperlink comes in handy. throb.gif
